Highlight SmartPlus The highlight of this year’s presen - tation by WITTMANN BATTENFELD is the new SmartPlus. The SmartPlus is a servo-hydraulic machine which stands out by its high level of cost and ener - gy efficiency, as well as repeatability. Thanks to the use of proven technolo - gies and carefully selected options, short delivery times and an excellent price-performance ratio have been made possible for this machine. A special feature of the SmartPlus is the new B8X control system with system components developed in- house. These enable a higher fre - quency, shorter response times and a higher repeatability rate for parts, with the same operating comfort as before and the familiar visualization concept.
